It has been quite I while I wrote and sorry to my fans. I have been quite busy with my work. I was asked what I am doing (EJ) and I am sure there are others that are thinking the same thing. So, here is what I am doing here in Indonesia:
I am here for 4 months to work with students aged 15-17! The first week, the AIESEC local prepared me and answered all my questions because I was quite confused about this project!!!! I had great sessions about project management and facilitating skills. Then, this week, I am working with 2 key students chosen to help me facilitate the sessions. We have spoken a lot about projects and the MDGs (UN Millenium Development Goals). I also give them exercises and work to do! I make them work hard, as per the request of WA. (AF, he is really a great guy...You must have had tons of fun with him! :)
I am moving this weekend and I am going to another host family. ( was in the first host family for 1 week and now in the second for also 1 week. Now I will live with the family for 1 month. I was living out of my luggages...So I'll now be able to sort-of get used to the surroundings!
Anyways, for this Friday and Monday-Wed of next week, I will prepare some sessions I will have with all 30 students including the 2 key students. (It was supposed to be the whole week of preparation next week, but I have changed my schedule to go to a conference in Jakarta....I am soooooooooooooooooooooo excited!!!! I'll see Jakarta, meet Bules (foreigners) and see AIESECers...FYI (AS, ;) ), they have tons of dances and roll calls...VERY exciting! And they know tunuk tunuk...hehehe!!!! It's my favorite :P
So as of next Thursday-Saturday (Yes, they have school on Saturdays!!!!!) and the Monday, Jan 30th, we will have the Leadership Development Training (LDT) with all 30 'kids' as I call them! Then, I leave on Jan 31st in the early afternoon to take the bus to Jakarta...It'll take 18 hours!!!! Should be fun whith the AIESECers and stuff...hehehe!!!! I am back on Feb 5th (Sunday REALLY late!) and I start the next day....I hope I won't be too K.O.!!!! :P
And then, I will work with the students toward projects to help society and will empower them . I also plan to have other sessions to help their writing skills and develop their potential (can u see the AIESEC jargon? hehehe). The 2 key students I am working with are super smart but a bit shy. It is normal at their age (15 and 16) so I hope they'll feel a bit more comfortable with time! I am not sure of the type of project yet b/c I need to still discuss this with the students! I'll keep u updated!!!!
That's it! Any questions or comments?
